GASKIN v ACCIDENT COMPENSATION CORPORATION [2018] NZHC 3190
- Citation
- [2018] NZHC 3190
- Court
- High Court
Special leave granted because the application raised arguable mixed questions of law and fact: whether the statutory s110 threshold (rehabilitation complete and vocational independence likely) was satisfied before ACC ordered a vocational independence assessment, and whether ACC complied with s86/87 in addressing return-to-work versus alternative employment; these legal questions merit appeal to the High Court.
